Excerpt from Sir William Hamilton: The Man and His Philosophy; Two Lectures Delivered Before the Edinburgh Philosophical Institution, January and February 1883

And what is more, the course of thought which rose and flowed onwards since the beginning of last century to our own day, has been so continuous and so marked in feature and character as to have deserved and received the name of a School of Philosophy; a school which has influenced the speculative mind alike of France and America, which mainly helped to raise the academic thought of France in the early part of this century above the husks of sensationalism and materialism, and to elevate and beautify it with a sense of the dignity Of man, and the feeling Of a true spiritualism.
